The Oct. 5 letter to the editor entitled "Intelligent voters strive to be informed" was poorly conceived. The writer of the article opened with an appeal to get the attention of intelligent voters who are really just uninformed; then, proceeded to critically berate that same group of people.

He said we don't read the newspaper because it's too liberal. Well he may be correct there, so we learn to filter out the extraneous. We don't watch the news on TV, he says, because it only gives a one-sided point of view. Actually, if you watch any newscast other than FNC you will most definitely get a one-sided liberal pro-Obama point of view and you will not hear anything conservative, Christian or American.

So, as a result, we are the uninformed and un-American. Next he calls out "fanatic Republicans" because they oppose abortion, which allegedly only comes up for discussion at election time. I beg to differ. Abortion is a Biblical Christian issue and is ever present before our eyes 24 hours a day 365 days a year, and res we do oppose taking the life of any unborn baby.

The writer proclaims: "I am not for or against abortion, I am for the Constitution." He goes on to say that every American has the responsibility to maintain and preserve the Constitution.

Hold on a second, does that also include the president of the United States ?

Well where have you been the last four years? No president in the history of the United States of America has ever trampled on, ignored, and usurped the Constitution like Barack Hussein Obama!

Next he blames the Republicans for dividing the American people because they do not cower to Obama's every whim and support his intentional destruction of the greatest country in the world. No president in history has done more to divide this country than has Barack Obama. He hates America.

Lastly he mentions that Americans should all be content to pay our taxes to keep the government running. That reminds me of an interesting fact that is worth mentioning. In 2011, Mitt Romney gave 19 percent of his income to charity. Barack Obama gave 1 percent of his income to charity, and Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013 percent of his income to charity.

Before you criticize the American voter, do your homework.

Otherwise you will be one of those uninformed un-Americans just like the writer of the article in question.
